Transportation System Plan
How do we plan for roads, bike systems, public transit, and walking amenities in the future? What's important to you when it comes to getting around town? These topics are addressed in the City's Transportation System Plan (TSP).

TSP Background and Goals
The City’s current TSP was adopted in 2002. It establishes Gresham's citywide multi-modal transportation goals and policies, as well as a prioritized list, implementation plan, and funding strategy through 2020.
Gresham's updated TSP through 2035 will identify short and long-term transportation projects that support and maintain:
- healthy and active transportation options
- a safe and efficient transportation system
- economic development
- a well-connected, multi-modal system
reduced greenhouse gas emissions and increased environmental stewardship The 2035 TSP will strengthen the City's position when competing for transportation-related funding opportunities.
TSP Timeline
The TSP is scheduled to be updated through a series of five phases. Public participation will be sought throughout each phase. The City’s Transportation Subcommittee is the project’s Technical Advisory Group. Staff meets the first Thursday of the month with the Transportation Subcommittee to discuss the TSP.
Phase 1: Develop the project work plan and public participation plan. Phase 1 is complete. The City Council approved both plans as proposed during their Council hearing on Sept. 14, 2010.
Phase 2: Research and analysis for each transportation mode. Phase 2 was completed in February 2011.
Phase 3: Conduct alternatives analysis and selection - and draft revised TSP. Phase 3 is scheduled to begin in March 2011.
Phase 4: Code amendments through the legislative process. Phase 4 will begin when the alternatives analysis and selection is complete and the revised TSP is drafted. Phase 4 is scheduled to take six months. The 2035 TSP is scheduled for adoption in August 2012.
Phase 5: Project closeout and implementation. This Phase will begin upon TSP adoption. It will include project implementation and any City Community Development Plan amendments that may be required as a result of the TSP update.
